John McCain knows he's in trouble. National polls put him roughly 6 points behind Barack Obama, and if the election were held today, he'd lose by a landslide in the Electoral College. So with just over a month until election day, campaign manager Rick Davis has confirmed that McCain is pulling out of the Great Lakes State.
Republican sources say that McCain will no longer air TV ads and or continue direct mail and other outreach in Michigan, but will instead redirect staff and resources to states like Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida, which the campaign believes to be more competitive. As the latest polls show McCain behind in Ohio and Florida, and well-behind in Wisconsin, they clearly have their work cut out for them. Particularly when one considers that as the electoral map currently stands (353 to 185), McCain could win all three states and still lose handily.
